You're asking highly selfish people if they're going to party and then self isolate? The answer is no, no they are not.

How would you know if someone’s medically vulnerable?
If you’re socializing or in close contact with someone, you would generally know.
And if a person is medically vulnerable, it’s their decision as to whether or not they want to risk exposure in group settings.
So many people on here seem to think they know better about what health decisions others should make.

+1. I'm not keeping my kids from seeing their extended family, enjoying their holidays and time off from school, just in case of an exposure to something. Well maybe if Ebola was going around, but short of that...

I am not going to self isolate as long as I am feeling fine.

Per CNN medical expert Dr. Leana Wen, "You could be infected and asymptomatic. You could also be pre-symptomatic, meaning that you could be contagious and could develop symptoms in the days to come. Don’t take the chance of getting someone else sick. It’s best to avoid close contact with vulnerable individuals in the week or so after your high-exposure events."
How may of you are going to self isolate?
Sorry, but that's on them. Unless I had a "vulnerable" individual in my immediately family I needed to protect, I'm not curtailing my activities, nor my kids.

That's your personal choice.

Do you test for COVID? I'm assuming the answer is no.

Nope. Yesterday I went to the home of people who traveled and then promptly had a NYE party and I kept my mask on the entire time.

After attending a church service? After going to work for one day? In what universe has this ever been realistic or suggested? I can’t believe this is a real question.
I feel like you may have your head in the sand. There was a change that occurred via Covid. That’s permanent. Things aren’t “going back to normal.” And change can be good because it can help people.
